WELCOME FROM THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA
Honorable Deron Bilous, Minister Economic Trade and Development

A new global E&P cycle is emerging, amid the back drop of: global security issues, contraction and rise super-powers, new and evolving trade agreements, increasing pressure to replace fossil fuels, and increasing demand for low-cost energy. In parallel, global E&P has found the big, easy, and obvious, and there’s a change in the market place to increased diversity in energy industry focus. Are we seeing a shift from the “Age of the Majors”, to the “Age of the NOCs and Juniors”? What are the opportunities and the risks for E&P companies ready to invest in the emerging energy market?

There is a collective sense that the next cycle is beginning to emerge. Does the action on-the-ground support this view? What and where are the emerging trends in demand in the service industry? Oil and gas prices remain volatile; how hard is the service industry pushing to capture growth in the market?

The world has opportunities and Canada has a wealth of expertise to bring to the global E&P market. Canada is open for business and keen to support growth of the E&P sector around the globe. What are the opportunities for collaboration in the emerging E&P Cycle?
